Self-Powered LED Bike Pedals.  I'm about to get a bike—I've lived in this city far too long without one, and if things go to plan I might be able to ditch my car (or have an excuse to get that supercharger). One thing I've been sketched on, though, is the almost-certain death that biking in NYC seems to lead to (my buddy Aron is still recovering from a failed bike<->cab interface a couple of months back). Maybe I'll grab him (and myself) a pair of these Sahalie Self Powered Bike Pedals. For $20 they add three LEDs that are powered by the gyroscopic motion of pedaling itself—no batteries necessary. Of course, they don't have those fancy foot straps that Aron uses—you know, the kind that keep the bike attached when you go cartwheeling over a speeding cab.
